Don't you mean "Belgium" Phil

Cannes, well known Belgium town - any fule kno that

philqw78 · Post by **philqw78** » Mon Sep 29, 2008 8:14 am

Yes, thats what I meant. Cannes in Belgium, about 100Km from the sea, an old industrial town, blighted by 1960's redevelopment. A concrete wasteland. The wife wouldn't want to go there.

Strange , I have googled it and can only find the town where they have the film festival , it also has an airport that no-one flies to and a railway station with no trains , but thousands of taxi firms in the vicinity ?

Does one have to Swim ?

The wife wouldn't want to go there.

Is the important bit. A bit like the Athens in Belgium, she didn't want to go there either

Aaaaahhh of course

That Cannes in Belgium !! glad to see thats sorted out

I can be so forgetful sometimes

However Belgium has Chocolate which may be enough to attract my better half so I will have to go to the Cannes just east of Rotherham methinks

peterrjohnston · Post by **peterrjohnston** » Mon Sep 29, 2008 2:57 pm

Just saying you're going to Rotherham should be enough, surely? Or Hull. It's by the sea too.

Apparently you need a passport now though. For the tournament registration they say. Most odd.

Hmph! All that cunning planning and I've just realised the date. The only places I could go that weekend are hell on Earth or a place that costs the earth to keep her happy

She must be bloody difficult to please! I mean how much more romantic can you be: a trip to Cannes for St Valentines? Tell you what. Promise her you'll let her throw the dice. If that doesn't clinch the deal, I don't know what will.

3. Army lists must specify the number and size of battle groups and their order of march for deployment, and the number and type of commanders chosen. They should also include the territory list for the army. Once an army list has been submitted it may not be changed or altered other than to correct any errors. Players may only correct their errors by making reasonable changes to their list. It is not allowed to completely re-write the list, and the list checkers decision on this is final.
4. Olivier’s excel army list calculator is available for downloadable on the Field of Glory French site at www.fieldofglory.fr
5. Please note the FOG in Cannes 2009 event is a single list format. Any incorrect list discovered after a game has commenced (after set up dice have been rolled) must be corrected prior to deployment if spotted in time, and fully corrected in any case before the next match.

Why?

I don' t know Peter , perhaps Philippe will explain why for the moment Ionly got the planning of the event ;

Best Regards

peterrjohnston · Post by **peterrjohnston** » Tue Oct 07, 2008 7:46 pm

I spoke with Philippe via email. He says it's so we can enjoy the morning at the convention, and possibly save on hotels for some.

I did point out that playing on Saturday evening would prevent us Italians enjoying French cuisine - maybe just as well

Rgds,
Peter
